Carnival of Personal Finance #291
January 10th, 2011 | 
Author: John over at Wallet Blog hosted the Carnival of Personal Finance this week and I just want to thank him for including my article about how credit card interested is calculated.
The theme for this week’s Carnival was New Year’s resolutions for 2011 and John did a great job on it!
